The scripture teaches us that a wise man builds his house on the rock (Matthew 7:24). We understand that Rock to be Jesus Christ and we hope to see our community built on “The Rock”. Our mission is really very simple. We want to point people towards Jesus Christ, help to empower them to fulfill their God given gifting and add people to the Church.

In John 10:10, Jesus tells us in His missional statement, He came to bring life, to bring it abundantly. This life comes from accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior (John 3:16) and trusting in his word for our lives. It is our passion to consistently demonstrate to people how Gods word is credible, His values are life giving and His character is stalwart. We are communicating this throughout the region where we live, Mountain Home, Idaho, and across the world. We believe God has given us a world wide mission to communicate God's love, redemption and grace to mankind. His disciples were given the world wide commission while riding on camels, donkeys and boats….how much more can we do?

We are bent on living life in Jesus Christ without compromise and religiosity. We are a fun place which strives to educate and train in relevant ways and to worship God 24/7. We see the need to communicate the gospel of the scripture with credibility and truth without religious bias or apology. We also teach the scripture in a way that is applicable to all ages and relevant to daily living. It is our hope to see thousands of people coming into life-giving relationships with Jesus Christ, and then having His values and teaching impact every nook and cranny of their daily tasks.

Our spiritual foundational philosophy is made up of three things; life, liberty and grace. We see these permeating every facet of living here in Mountain Home and abroad. We are changing the way many people think about religion and a relationship with Jesus Christ and enjoy seeing people’s lives transformed.

Imagine a place that embraces fun, educates, creatively communicates and is life changing. Also, imagine a place where your children are eager to learn, eager to grow, love to learn and can’t wait to get there. Picture in your mind a place where youth not only attend, they belong, serve, grow and interact….Keep imagining with us; picture a place that is comfortable for all men with varied interest and a place where women can grow and reach their full potential…Exciting isn’t it?

Excellence is all around and yet the environment is relaxed and void of pretension. People from all walks of life and backgrounds are welcomed and loved. It’s the kind of place you know your friends and family are just going to love and its not at all like they picture it.

Friendships flourish, people belong, and God is with them. God is leading, guiding, encouraging, healing and listening. Now imagine that place is a church! Too difficult? I say it’s not.

Welcome to “The Rock”.

That’s a vision we can live with and one I will gladly fight for.
